About Me

I was married for about seven years and had my 3 wonderful boys (Cj, Ethan and Joseph)...unfortunately, we married too young and it didn't work out. Since then, I met a great guy, Joe; and from what started as "just friends" has turned into a great relationship....and from that relationship, we have our little girl (Angie).... Oh and of course, our two dogs (Daisy and Eddie)!!
On January 7, 2005, I lost my mother(my best friend)to ovarian cancer. I miss her TERRIBLY and hope that I can be half the mother/woman she was.

Last night we, as a family, had to finish up a project for Joseph's class. Friday is the 100th day of school, so we had to get together 10 of 10 items to equal 100 items on his board!!!

It's hard to see in the picture, but we had mailing peanuts, apple jacks, cheerios, black coffee stirrers, white coffee stirrers, paper clips, post-it notes, sugar packets, binder clips and rubber bands..... We actually had a lot of fun putting it all together. Joseph is funny because on one hand he wanted help and on the other hand he didn't want anybody to touch anything (of course until he had difficulties...)!!!

I still have a hard time with class/school projects.... I have a hard time because I always want them to look "perfect", not messy, all in order etc....and in reality, they are being done by a child, so they should look like they were done by a child. My two closest friends are teachers and they have always told me "For the most part, let them do their projects on their own"...my one girlfriend was a 3rd grade teacher and she said that when she would have a student bring in a "perfect" project she would always ask "How long did it take your mom or dad to do this...?"

Oh well, enjoy.....and then head on over to Angie's Circusand read others!!!

Great project! I love school projects I just hate when they tell you the night before that they have a project due tomorrow that they had a month to work on! Well, just one did then the younger two learned from their big sis's mistake...lol.
